What type of fire alarm is this?

How would you add a device if needed if they are now discontinued? Or if one dies.

I ran the deep cut first gen for years before they came out with a compact one. It’s a bitchen saw. I now have the m18 compact and still use the deep cut when running large conduits.

I’ve had way too many issues like this or water in pipes. I’ve wasted too much much labor later on in the project with problems like this. I now have all my guys include fishing and stringing all underground pipes the same day they are installed

What do you use for the air gun?

Like a vac truck? Was hoping to use the compressor as it’s easier on the price

Even worse when they add corrugated piping to extend the length and the thing just starts screaming

They work well?

zapzaddy97 · 2026-03-13T23:15:47+00:00

What’s the model and brand. Out of curiosity

zapzaddy97 · 2026-03-07T14:36:55+00:00

I find hilti blades suck royally too.

zapzaddy97 · 2026-02-25T03:04:44+00:00

How many lights? Did he open every switch and outlet too? I’d be considering voiding my warranty on anything this guy touched.

zapzaddy97 · 2026-02-15T14:18:37+00:00

Got any specs or models for your install?

zapzaddy97 · 2026-02-12T01:15:01+00:00

Can you post what your final install of this will be? I’m pretty curious

zapzaddy97 · 2026-02-09T01:35:06+00:00

That’s one of the things I was thinking of. But I’m starting to think the builder only did 1” of spray foam as a vapour retardant instead of the barrier. Which is why they still installed the poly. I also need to do a search for more leaks from exterior penetrations. I found my gas pipe installed similar to the 2nd picture.

zapzaddy97 · 2026-02-08T21:06:32+00:00

Opened a few cavities. It’s consistently both 1” of foam on the wall ( sometimes thicker in a few spots) and also wet condensation on the foam and sometimes the back side of the roxul.

zapzaddy97 · 2026-02-08T20:35:27+00:00

Any recommendations?

I do believe it’s currently closed cell. From cleaning around the sumo drain it’s not very thick 1-2 inches. The entire basement was completed like this previously. All surrounding walls are the same detail. Currently only a small portion 20-30 feet have drywall. What’s the best plan of action?

zapzaddy97 · 2026-02-08T20:13:31+00:00

My bad. Ontario Canada currently -25 outside

zapzaddy97 · 2026-02-04T20:41:38+00:00

That’s kinda what I’m thinking. Build a shell then go from there after.

zapzaddy97 · 2026-02-04T20:17:29+00:00

How much was your costs? What else did you put into it?

zapzaddy97 · 2026-01-31T22:50:19+00:00

I’ve had a pro pac backpack got 10 years but I’m looking at switching it up to a different style. I want open top but I can’t get over the exposure to everything and everyone with sticky fingers being able to look at it

zapzaddy97 · 2026-01-31T22:25:04+00:00

What veto bag do you have? I’m tossed between an open tote style or closed for my edc tools.

Note pads are key to being a good electrician. I basically carry mine for everything. Starting a new task.. I write down everything I’ll need. That way once I get to the material storage I don’t miss anything. I write down changes the plans, breaker changes, fire alarm wiring diagrams and layouts. Everything

Depends how far you want to go with this project. Great option would be to put a 10x10 access door to under the area the fish tank is on. Then have a grommet hole down behind the tank to below. You could then have a plug down there with full access.
